Voices of a People’s History of the United States is a primary-source companion to A People’s History of the United States. For this new book, Zinn and Arnove have selected testimonies — speeches, letters, poems, songs, memoirs, protests — from our rich history of resistance. Here, in their own words, are Mark Twain, Frederick Douglass, Emma Goldman, Martin Luther King, Jr., Cesar Chavez, Paul Robeson, Helen Keller, Bob Dylan, Angela Davis, Rachel Corrie, and scores of others.
Howard Zinn, a professor emeritus of political science at Boston University, is the author of twenty books, including You Can't Remain Neutral on a Moving Train, a powerful memoir of his life and political activism, and A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present, a history written from the standpoint of those who have been marginalized politically and economically and whose struggles have been largely omitted from most histories.
Anthony Arnove is the editor, with Howard Zinn, of Voices of a People's History of the United States and Terrorism and War. He also edited Iraq Under Siege. He is a regular contributor to ZNet and his writing has appeared in The Nation, The Financial Times, International Socialist Review, L'Humanité, Le Nouvelle Observateur, and other publications.

Truth when spoken, rarely heard..., July 22, 2010
Reviewer: frizman
As the preceding review alluded to, this is quoting 'source' materials covering anti-establishment views all the way back to the time of Columbus. The 'leftist' interpretation of the previous reviewer of course reveals his bias as a 'conservative', at least. To choose a kind and fairly unloaded term. It is important to hear voices other than Presidents and Tycoons, and this revealing program serves that purpose, at the time pointing out the incontrovertible facts of genocide, slavery and imperialism as practiced by this 'republic' since it's inception. To label the basic facts of history as 'leftist' is an unfortunate betrayal of the principles our founders voiced, if all too often ignored. An important addition to a clear view of the mixed influences and political realities of our History. A closed mind is a dark tomb......

It seems every day there is a new bit of left wing hate in my inbox. How about something refreshing like actual history or something I could "learn" out loud rather than being "brainwashed" out loud by socialist commentary?
